Just for Karen

I warned you it was boring!
This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are husband – Robin, eldest teenager and only daughter – Flo, next teenager and eldest son – Tom, teenager second son – Hugo, five year old third son – Xavier, and red Staffordshire Bull Terrier – Rufus.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with running a family and earning a living.
My two eldest have started a business venture selling artwork (mainly my paintings) to raise money for university. Please visit their site, Oakley Gallery to see what they are selling now.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to flo at oakleygallery dot com

Yay, thank you Julie. I learn so much by seeing how other people go around the object - the decision to bo this way or that as they do the contour. The colors are gorgeous but it's hard to see the path. Sometimes when I am drawing I try one turning right, one turning left, starting at a different point etc. just to see what works best. I find that it does make a difference. Although nothing works with cats. Thanks, again.
well said karen! i don't think ths is boring at all!! :) i think it's..."fresh."
typically I dont like colored-in contour drawings as well as the raw original version... but I really like the colors you chose for the Illustration Friday version! they make this look anemic by comparison! I really dislike doing blind contour drawings, but decided to become a particapant anyway... I understand the value of the exercise, so I grit my teeth on friday and draw. blind.
